I have been working on my written business English with Zabaan for more than a year now and believe that I have improved my skills a lot. The credit goes to Zabaan and the tailor made classes of my teacher Mr. Saraf. Thanks a lot!

We’ve really enjoyed this schools systematic approach to language learning. It’s been really helpful for us. We’ve mostly done online class, although Lreally enjoyed in the person class and chai. The teachers are great. It’s costly.

I learned to read Urdu in a month! This was truly a transformative experience. The instructor Ali is very patient, answers all of your questions, and shares linguistic and historical context wherever he can. This elevates the language learning experience to include explaining the cultural landscape of South Asia, and by extension (for Hindi speakers), our own heritage. It was a wonderful course - definitely worth my time. I would recommend it to anyone!

Samer
I have been teaching Arabic for the past seven years, helping students from different backgrounds to learn and enjoy the beauty of the Arabic language. My passion is to make Arabic accessible and engaging for everyone, no matter their level or experience.
Throughout my career, I have focused on creating a supportive and motivating learning environment. I am excited to share my knowledge in the Free Arabic Script Course starting on May 1st, and I look forward to helping more students begin their journey with Arabic.
Harsimran
Harsimran is a native Punjabi speaker whose relationship with the language became intentional later in life. After growing up largely in Hindi and English, she taught herself Gurmukhi in Class 12 and began engaging deeply with Punjabi as a language of thought, expression, and culture.
At Zabaan, she teaches Punjabi at the C2 / Advanced level, working with students on reading, listening, idioms, proverbs, and stylistic nuances. Her teaching is grounded in Punjabi literature, poetry, and oral traditions, and places strong emphasis on confident, natural use of the language. She also teaches Urdu’s script Nastaliq, and French to school students up to Grade 12 as well as to adult learners at the B1 level.
